What Luck!

Okay, so I went to bed early last night with my paper unfinished and the intention that I would get up early and work on it through the morning until it would be due in the afternoon.

So today rolls around and I wake up and look at the clock and its NOON! ...HOLY SHIT!

I immediately get to work on my paper and as my precious few minutes are slipping away I am realizing that I am going to have to cut it short and turn in my paper with huge chunks missing... SHIT!

At 2:10 the clock is counting down till my class begins at 2:30 and I am at least a 15 minute drive from campus. I hit the print button and what happens??? The printer is out of ink! ...SHIT SHIT!

I scramble through the drawers of my mother's computer trying desperately to find where she keeps the spare ink cartridges IF she even has any spare ink cartridges but I can't find any!... TRIPLE SHIT!

I dial the phone in the hopes that I can catch my professor and beg her to let me show up to class late (the paper is supposed to be due at the beginning of class) so that I have time to find a fucking floppy, find the fucking floppy drive itself, copy the fucking files to the fucking floppy, rush over to campus and print out the mother fucking paper!

Someone picks up, "Get me the professor! This is an emergency damn it!" I shout into the phone.

"I'm sorry the professor isn't here."

"But, but, but....!"

"I'm sorry, but no one is here right now because there is a campus-wide black-out, and I'm leaving now!" *click*

*dial tone*

. . . . . . . .

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!

I now have until THURSDAY to finish my paper!!

Thank you Murphy!! You hung me out to dry and then saved my sorry ass at the last minute! I have learned my lesson! I will never tempt you again!

Dorian:Phew! Thank god we are allowed breathers here and there. Good luck to you too.

Josh:I am very much among the few and I will never count on that happening again!

Linny:Heh heh, if it snowed here I'd be too freaked out by the fact that it actually snowed to even think about doing any kind of work :)

ShiftClick:Karma? Really? And here I was thinking I must have been a dictator in a previous life to deserve all the horrible things I've gotten in this life no matter how good I've been in this life... maybe I finally paid off my cosmic debt.

Erin O'Brien:Heh heh heh, my teacher must have arranged for the power to get shut off so she could stay home all day and screw! Erin, you really can work magic!

Karen Little:Genius? Why thank you! You flatter my already overblown ego :) And yes, I did manage to get in most of the missing chunks, and here's the real genius part: I was still missing one whole section and I still got 95% on the paper! That is yet ANOTHER miracle!
